Named by 2012 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney as his running mate on August 11, Representative Paul Ryan is the Chairman of the House Budget Committee and a senior member of the House Ways and Means Committee. He is the author of the committee's alternative federal budget roadmaps issued in 2009, 2011, and 2012. This collection of documents, professionally converted for accurate flowing-text ebook format reproduction, includes the public record of Representative Ryan - with issue statements, policy speeches, and much more.

This collection includes a complete reproduction of each of the three Path to Prosperity plans, along with March 2012 Congressional Budget Office assessment of the Republican alternative budget plan. As a bonus, a GAO glossary of terms used in the federal budget process is included to guide the reader in understanding the arcane language used in the budget process.

The House Republican roadmap states: This proposal does not attempt to abandon commitments Americans established over the past century, or to dismantle government. It recognizes that government has a necessary role in supporting the institutions through which Americans live their lives, and in providing a safety net for those who face financial or other hardships. But it rests on the conviction that government’s principal role is to maintain the freedoms through which individuals can pursue their own destinies. As Jefferson put it: “A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government.”
